Williams Says He ‘Hopes’ to Work on New Star Wars Trilogy
Time

 

Mmm, his Harry Potter main theme was good, rest was all the same. Sounded like a cross breed with Indy Jones, Jurrasic Park & Episode 1. 

Which is my point. All his scores sound like they come from the same movie.

Shame really as Empire is without doubt the greatest piece of movie music ever written IMO!

 

Don't  me wrong, he still comes up with wonderful themes (duel of the fates, across the stars, flag parade, droid army,a couple from Sith) it's the in between stuff is where I think he's lost it!! Like someone said earlier, it's just background music.

He does not seem to get that George is not involved in these films and that he would be working with JJ on the scoring stage with the LSO not Lucas.

Maybe that would work for him better, I recall him to be a little pissed when Lucas edited his music to fit the films and he couldn't score them like the OT.

What else was Lucas supposed to do with the score for say AOTC, when Williams produced a pile of crap?

 

I was as pissed as the next person hearing the same tunes from TPM being used, but maybe that's the only choice old Lucas had!?

I'd be happy for JJ's guy to score the new films, as long as he used the original themes. We need a fresh approach. Sorry, but Williams lost it a long time ago!!

One of my favourites is the early '90s trailer for the widescreen collection on VHS: http://youtu.be/mWxb3rmsp_w

 

 

 

 

Was about to post the same thing. I must of bored every single person I know with that trailer. Banging on about widescreen etc.

Stupid really, as at the time it was on my little tv in my bedroom. " You can't see fuck all"  is all I'd get from the unknowing bastards. Little did they know!!

^ Along with Christopher Eccleston he would have made a really good Tarkin.

I don't get the love for that guy. He's the most annoying fucking twat on screen. 

Watch him in Gone in 60 seconds, man, he can't play a bad guy for shit. With his grating bloody accent and that fucking stupid smile. As for his Dr Who, thank fuck he left when he did. 

 

What an arse!!
